Effect of red seaweed sulfated galactans on initial steps of complement activation in vitro
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2021 The research described here presents data on the effect of galactans of red algae, carrageenans (λ/μ/ν-, κ-, κ/β-, and ι/κ-types), and agar on complement system activation in normal human serum. The experiments were based on well surfaces coated with triggering agents for binding initiating complement components -C3 and C4.

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.Porphyridium purpureum polysaccharides are established hydrocolloids among several microalgal biomolecules, however they only exhibit higher viscosity without gelling capacity. Therefore, this study chose to employ alkali pretreatment to Porphyridium purpureum to investigate whether controlled chemical modification could alter the molecular structure ...

Memory in the wall: expanding our understanding of the roles of plant cell walls
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 56-72, January 2026.Summary The plant cell wall, while providing mechanical support to cells, also dynamically adjusts its composition and structure in response to cellular and environmental cues. Recent findings indicate that plants exposed to cold stress alter the composition of cell wall polysaccharides and that this altered status primes the plants to overcome future,
